tales from an ordinary world

1999-02-13

Another dinner thing - ages ago, some friends and I started doing this "A-Z" of restaurants (we were eating at the Afghan Gallery in Brunswick St when someone said "hey, let's go to a place starting with 'B' next time..."). We were up to 'Q', and someone (Nanda ?) found a place called Qizine (how quaint...) in South Melbourne, and we went there both to continue the trek and celebrate Mark's and my birthdays. The food was of the "less is more" variety, but pretty damn good, and I bought a bottle of red that cost more than $20 (no, really !) that went well with it all. Afterwards, we went and played pool for a while. I'm generally pretty crap at pool. Occasionally I have a lucky streak (and with this, myself and another similarly untalented guy once held a pool table in King's Cross for a good half-hour or so, once upon a time), but it seemed to desert me tonight - Christian and myself were absolutely no match for his housemate, Dave.
